i was -- i spent 14 years at new york city's tabloids which were his first read papers, particularly the "the new york post" for a very long time and working for the tabloids you invariably covered donald trump. he was omnipresent or a spicy quote that would make a story bert and showed up after 9/11, when you know, he wanted to pitch a revamped version of the twin towers. he was always there. i didn't get to know him quite as well until 2011 when he was considering running for president, and he made a huge splash at the conservative political action committee. he also was roasted pretty memorably by president barack obama at the white house correspondents association dinner if i think it was april of 2011, shortly after he announced he was not running are, but i spent a lot of time watching him, covering him, learning about how driven he is by a desire to be taken seriously, and that is a lot of what you saw go into his desire to run and win in 2016. >> did you take him seriously when he said he would run in 2015? >> i took him seriously in 2011 when he was talking about running. wh

new york murders it is the murder rate in new york declined precipitously from one nine hundred ninety right when you left i'm not saying that you're a murderer trying to suggest that you could have been the cause of the high murder rate in new york back in one nine hundred ninety but it did drop off once you left and you're also saying that while i was living in london the murder rate went up. did so maybe you just drive people crazy and this is what is happening or you know actually this wasn't a response or story the london murder rate did climb higher than new york for the first time and modern history due to all the stabbings that's worse than limerick which of course is not a stab city that's what some people in ireland told you when we went there that's what they call it they said also limerick was all about cute little upper cons and just you know limericks little poetry and everyone was like carrying around a you know a nice guinness and singing songs to the blarney stone but it turns out it's frickin stamp city so there's another correlation causality story and we have been c

there may be new york state investigations. i think we're just talking about a massive criminal enterprise by that statement. >> look, i think bob mueller is on very dangerous political terrain because i can almost write the editorials that will be a reaction to this. at the center of those editorials is the question, what on earth does this have to do with russia? as far as most people know, michael cohen is the guy who apparently paid $130,000 to a porn star with whom the president appears to have had a liaison over a decade ago. there is already a real question out there as to whether the president should fire mueller. and if you talk to a lot of republicans they'll say he's way out of his -- just to finish. so, mueller -- we need to find out very quickly how this connects to -- to, at least in its broadest sense, a russia investigation. >> chuck, do you need to tie it to russia? is there an obligation -- a teacher that suggested abuse has an obligation to turn it over to authorities. does a prosecutor who suggests a crime h

the new york city fire department, as you can new york city fire department, as you can see, new york city fire department, as you can see, has been tweeting about it and saying that they are responding to the blaze. there has been some video on social media showing that there was a small fire which was visible from the struck in central manhattan. not, as it happens, the first time this has happened this year at the trump tower. in january there was happened this year at the trump tower. injanuary there was a small fire on the roof of the building. any more details we get we will of course bring to you very speedily. us national guard soldiers are deploying

but it is worth remembering that the new york times, for most of his career as a developer in new york, was a symbol of the elite. who he felt rejected a somebody not from manhattan, from the outer boroughs, that theme of not being taken seriously. that is why the times looms so large in his imagination. >> the new yorker headline from an interview you did with the publication of must last year, a conversation with maggie haberman, trump's favorite foe. does he treat you differently behind the scenes than he does on twitter? maggie: i would not discuss private conversations in one way or the other. there are a number of times that i have interviewed him and spoken with him and then his presence speaks for itself. >> does he dislike the media, do you think? maggie: no. i think he loves the media. i don't think he understands that a media-devoted government is about. this is for someone for whom the meeting was very transactional, whether it was the tabloids or gossip pages. he is unused to a press corps that is not devoted to the cult of personality. >> final question on this -- what ar

he left him back in new york. and the reports are that michael cohen isn't exactly happy about that. why would he take care of him in this instance? he's going to be looking in the mirror, asking himself those questions, listening to his wife telling him, what are you doing taking care of this guy because this guy has never taken care of you, michael. you need to take care of me and your family. the reason i know it's going to happen, because it happens in white collar cases day in and day out. if the presidential candidate, donald trump, sent this guy to prague, i mean, this is the guy? this is like sending the pink panther. >> he sent carter page, also, to russia. let's not forget that. >> if this is the envoy that you sent to prague to meet with the secret russians about meddling in the election, the lack of judgment never ceases to amaze me. >> tim, you know donald trump and michael cohen. michael cohen to michael's assessment how he would react -- >> i think he would flip in a minute. >> one full minute. >> m

the new york fed getting a new boss. it john williams replacing bill dudley, becoming one of the officials inwerful the federal reserve system. our global economics and policy editor kathleen hays here with more. was controversy about john williams and rumors about him becoming the president of the new york fed. >> he is. a big bill in reserve system and something that people are watching for any influence it may have on policy because the new york fed has selected san francisco fed president john ym's to replace bill dudley. bill is retiring this summer and rumored that john williams was in the running. we now know he certainly was. let me remind everyone why the fed's position is important. first among equals. among the presidents 12 rotate devote every year.

the fbi in new york and at the u.s. attorney in new york. these are public corruption investigators, so presumably, yeah. >> clearly, julie, the president is deeply, deeply irritated about what's going on. i want to put up on the screen five men who are leading this investigation right now. let's put it up on the screen if we have it. there you can see jeff sessions. he's recused himself. he's the attorney general. you see christopher wray is the director of the fbi. rod rosenstein is the deputy attorney general. he's overseeing the investigation because sessions recused himself. jeff berman is the attorney of jeff sessions in new york. he's overlooking michael cohen. he's the one who authorized the raid on his home. and robert mueller, the special counsel. what do all of these have in common? i'm answering my own question. they are all republicans and they were all named to their current positions during the trump presidency, during the trump administration. so when the president says this investigation is a bunch of democrats who are biase

"the lead" starts right now. breaking news, days after saying he wants out syria, president trump is about to hear from his military leaders after an alleged chemical weapons massacre. we're getting a clearer picture, stormy daniels's attorney sketches over someone who threatened her and question about president trump's response to a fire that killed a tenant in his flagship building and where were the sprinklers and why did he lobby against them. >> welcome into the leed. we're going to hear from nikki haley. let's listen >> this time i will not hold up pictures. i could. there are many and they are gruesome. worse are the videos imprinted in our minds that one should ever there v to see. i cold hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to hur mothers and brothers and sisters, toddlers and infants still in diapers. all lying together, dead. t

zeldin of new york. the chair: the gentleman from new york, mr. zeldin and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york. mr. zeldin: i rise in support of my bipartisan amendment to address the deeply flawed north shore helicopter route which is impacting communities throughout long island and my constituents on the north port. the f.a.a.'s north shore helicopter route which was made mandatory in 2010 represents everything that's wrong with our unaccountable federal bureaucracy. it lacks fairness, transparency and common sense. it's not a bright idea to mandate aircraft traffic bound to the tip of an island when multiple all-water routes are available. in addition to being ill conceived which makes this mandate so extremely unfair, it shifts the majority of air traffic which does not have a busy airport or helicopter pad and thus doesn't get any of the economic benefit that the air traffic brings to neighboring communities on the southport that have an active seasonal airport. to close these loop

it is worth remembering that the new york times for most of his career as a developer in new york was a symbol of the elite who he felt rejected from, from the outer boroughs, not from manhattan, the theme of not being taken seriously. larges why the times so in his imagination. >> a new yorker headline from an interview you did for the publication last year, with maggie haberman, trump favorite foe.-- does he treat you differently behind the scenes that he does publicly on twitter? >> i would not discuss private conversations. the number of times i have interviewed him and spoken with him speaks for itself. >> does he dislike the media? >> no. i think he loves the media. he does not understand what a government devoted media is about. whether the business press, tabloids, gossip pages, whether he made himself a celebrity, he is not used to a press court not devoted to be called a personality. >> what are your thoughts about winning this award? >> it is a huge honor. i was stunned and overwhelmed by it as i said to somebody at the white house correspondents association. when they call

i get asked a lot, is new yorker real market? -- is new york a real market? deal almost every single we have looked at over the last two years has had silicon valley competing for them. capital's first mark first female partner, which is awesome. i just wrote a whole book about diversity in silicon valley. anecdotally, i have heard that new york feels like a more inclusive place. do you think there's any truth to that idea, that new york is less of a brotopia than silicon valley proper? >> new york has always been an open, not only for the people that -- been a melting pot. we know that 40% of tech workers here are women, 20% are people of color. that's a dramatic difference than silicon valley. so yes, i believe here it is a little more diverse. there is access to different types of talent across many industries. >> but what still needs to happen? it is certainly not enough. >> certainly not enough, that's true. it's still a developing market, so we are seeing really nice trends here. i think we will continue to see more dollars come in, in the third quarter

pbs and the new york times are not the same. as you point out, the new york times is a dream job. most people end their careers at the new york times. they say, that's the thing i'm aspiring to. you were at newsday and then you were at usa today before going to the times, but still at a relatively young age, you got there in 2015. so you were still in your 20s when you got to the new york times. but then you leave the times. no one leaves the times. we love pbs, right? that's like, what are we doing here? but but but, that's not a job you leave. so what was it about new york times to pbs that made you make that change? - well you know, gwen ifill left the new york times. - correct, that's true, good point. check mate. - so if you're someone who's a student of gwen ifill and a student of, she was a mentor of mine, and we met because we had the same hairdresser because that's how that happens, and that's how the universe, so great. - that is, by the way, not how we met. - that is, by the way, not how we met. - so seeing that, and seeing that she left before there was a gwen ifill is

emily: we often compare new york to silicon valley. new york, there are a lot of exciting things happening in the tech scene, but there hasn't been that multibillion dollar exit. when will that happen? will that happen? >> we are seeing a continued acceleration. there has been a lot of buzz in the market about new york and how it will grow. we have seen over the last five years a big increase in not only the number of companies that have been founded here, but the number of exits. we have also seen a nice pipeline of potential companies that will exit at multiple billion-dollar valuations, whether it is health, there are some in the pipeline. the other question is where those venture dollars go. i get asked a lot, is new york a real market? is it a computed market? i say almost every single deal we have looked at over the last two years has had silicon valley competing for them. emily: you are first mark capital's first female partner, which is awesome. i just wrote a whole book about diversity in silicon valley. some of the things i h

i am biassed but i do think the new york fed is special because of what new york city is what some of the operational rules that come to the new york fed. >> you talked in your speech of more to be done in terms of cross board and resolution, and you mentioned your role, how do you see the global financial regulatory system involved or is that process or structure that we have today is the right one or does that need to evolve further? >> i think we made it a lo lot -- look, i look at the work that's done in the banks and the stability board, all able raising standards around the world to have a safe global financial system and a level plain field . i think it is very much in the u.s. interest of participated in those forum and to push for sustainable routine around the world. on the issue of this of the financial board, we do a lot of work of the resolution to try to make sure this could be done effectively. one of the things we'll take up over the next incoming months in bosnia. i am the chair in the financial system, we'll look at how well the stability board works on resolution is

joining us from new york, john cassidy, contributor for the new yorker magazine. he's covered john barron in the past. what do you think of that tape from 1992? >> he was john barron in a divorce case, in other cases. i've never had that experience myself, but i think a lot of new york reporters wouldn't be surprised to see this. back in the '80s, everybody who covered trump knew he was determined to get on the forbes 400 list. he was always determined to show that he was one of the really rich people in america, richer than these rivals in the new york real estate game. and the article was a very good article, i should say. it just shows it's all true and that trump actually told lies about his assets, including one of the things he said was that his father had passed over all the family assets to him and consolidated them subsequently and merged in his father's will, in fred trump's will, and passed them over to his kids. i think it confirms what we previously knew, that when it comes to trump's estimation of his own worth, you need to take a lot of what he says

attorney's office for the southern district of new york. so the manhattan federal prosecutor's office. but that raid came after a referral from the office of special counsel robert mueller. "several law enforcement officials confirmed to nbc news that the search of cohen's office was not the work of mueller's prosecutors. it involves a matter that the mueller team came across which the team concluded did not fall under its mandate and they passed it on to the u.s. attorney's office in manhattan." that decision, though, they're of whether or not this -- whatever they came across was within the mandate of the special counsel's office, that decision was not ultimately made by robert mueller himself. the person who appears to have signed off on that decision is deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. attorney general jeff sessions has recused himself from all matters related to the russia investigation. rod rosenstein is the number 2 at the department. and he's in charge of all matters pertaining to the special counsel's office and the russia m

we're told other payments according to "the new york times." we'll explore that with the judge, andrew napolitano, in a second. first, senator john ken debt, louisiana center. what he makes of this. senator, thanks for your patience. what do you think? >> it's all speculation. we look at the facts. "the new york times" reported that the fbi raided mr. cohen's office. presumably, it's about the $130,000 payment to mrs. daniels. since we're just speculating and nobody knows, one point of view has said that someone alleged the payment by mr. cohen to mrs. daniels was somehow a violation of the election laws. but if we're going to be fair, it's plausible that somebody might have alleged that perhaps somebody was trying to extort the president through his lawyer. i mean, both of those are eek qualifiedly plusable. >> neil: why would the fbi seize records to that degree to ferret out a distortion? >> i don't know. we don't have the facts. i will say this. i will be glad when mr. mueller completes his investigation. i want him to be thorough and i wan

york city could not watch the new york mets play in a game last week because it was off free television and only available through facebook. talk about the power, the influence, the significance of a private institution. major league baseball has agreed with facebook that 25 games this year around the leagues will be available only through facebook, not additionally facebook, only on facebook. i'm not a mets fan, but even so, the reason for this is that baseball fans tend to be older and facebook fans tend to be younger. the effort here is to introduce baseball to a younger crowd. now let's turn to serious things. i did think that if i was coming here to speak today before you, after panels that dealt with first amendment issues, issues relating to the press, the role of the press in american life, the significance of the press and the impact of the press, that it was worth beginning with a line from an old and enduring movie. remember the line from the godfather in which don corleone is talking to his fellow mobsters as they're basically reaching some sort of agreement not to interfere

i'm anna cabrera in new york. thank you for being here. president trump angry and accusing, name calling and defensive today to anyone reading his twitter feed. he rails against "the new york times," insulting a reporter by name while standing up for his personal lawyer, michael cohen. he calls maggie haberman third rate and a crooked h flunkey, saying she and her colleagues are going out of their way to destroy cohen whom he calls a fine person with a wonderful family. then a familiar trump refrain, witch hunt and dishonest media. let me get white house correspondent boris sanchez in here. he's not far from where president trump is spending the weekend at his south florida resort and this is "the new york times" article the president is most likely reacting to. it's been a week since the feds raid raided michael cohen's home and office. some believe this is really meant to send a message to michael cohen to stay loyal. what are you hearing from the administration? >> reporter: hey there, ana. nothing just yet. we've asked them for clarity

joe miller, bbc news, new york. let's ta ke news, new york. let's take a look at the markets before we go because we are seeing asian markets that are open at the moment edging up after the losses they were making just yesterday. of course we saw a slight recovery on wall street after the previous day's sell—off so the nikkei up slightly and we are dealing with the weaker yen after the us dollar recovered boosting the export reliant stocks, but the australian market flat at the moment. that's it for this edition of asia business report, thanks for watching. you're watching bbc news. a reminder of the headlines this hour: at least three people have been wounded, one critically, after a woman opened fire at the headquarters of youtube in california. she's then believed to have killed herself. a chinese couple have been reunited with their missing daughter after a 24 year search under the glare of state media. new medical centres to speed up the diagnosis of cancer are being introduced across england to try to spot the disease at an earlier sta

at new york's trump tower. flames and billowing smoke seen from fifth avenue. sources now say the fire appears to have been accidental, caused by electrical malfunction in the apartment, like an appliance or device. >> there is a heavy body of fire on the 5-0 floor. searches are underway. >> reporter: the preliminary findings also show that the apartment on the 50th floor did not have working smoke alarms. 67-year-old todd brassner died from smoke inhalation in the blaze. the president tweeting his thanks to first responders. trump tower was built before the law mandated sprinkler systems in apartments like brassner's, something trump himself and other real estate developers fought against at the time. now tonight, one new york city councilman is calling for new legislation. >> i think it's time that we bring the law up to date to protect new york citizens and residents of the city. >> reporter: and david, tonight, fire experts tell us the best way to see if your state requires a sprinkler system is by going to

district of new york. he served as a district court judge from 19882006 and from 2000 to 2006 he served as the chief justice of the southern district leaving that corporate a footnote he was succeeded as chief justice from the honorable campbell would who is currently handling some case that i have heard of. among his celebrated cases the trial of omar armann terrorist he sentenced to life in prison or a plot to blow up the u.n. and other new york landmarks and the trial of josÉ padilla the u.s. citizen terrorist who tried to blow up an airplane. after a brief stent in private practice president george w. bush appointed judge mukasey attorney general of the united states. november of 2007 to 2009. his leadership at doj was widely praised for returning doj to prominence and independence so essential to the effective operation of our justice department and system. since graduating from yale law school in 1967 judge mukasey is almost the evenly divided his time between private practice and government service

a very successful mayor of new york. but i'm not confident he is going to be able to get this thing closed out in one or two weeks. >> what's your idea of rudy giuliani being broughtan board rick. >> there is no possible way this is going the close in two weeks. he hired giuliani to be the pr face this campaign. yule jewel is a smart guy but hasn't really practiced criminal law in quite some time. the president likes people to go on tv and defend him. that's what i think he was really hired for. >> do you agree with that. >> absolutely. >> the public face. >> absolutely. i don't think rudy giuliani. particularly because he is potentially a witness in this probe -- i think we all forget that he was on tv right before james comey came out with his late-stage announcement and he essentially talked as if he knew that james comey was going to reopen the investigation based on leaks from the fbi. giuliani is potentially more in the mix in terms of the russia probe and becoming an actual witness than we know. he is going to be

attorney here in new york city. the president's anger was on full display in the cabinet room. >> why don't i just fire mueller? well, i think it is a disgrace what's going on. we'll see what happens. it is really a sad saituation when you look at what happened. many people said you should fire him. again, they found nothing and in finding nothing that's a big statement to have this witch hunt constantly going on for over 12 months now. actually much more than that. you could say it was after i won the nomination it started. it is a disgrace. a real disgrace. it's an attack on our country in a true sense and attack on what we stand for. >> the haextraordinary raid on e president's lawyer would have to have been approved by top officials at the justice department. likely rod rosenstein. the president yesterday renewed his attacks on rosenstein and his boss attorney general jeff sessions. gloria borger reports. >> reporter: christine and alex, these raids were extraordinary. a dozen fbi agents searched multiple locati

it's 4:00 in new york. buckle up. we come on the air with breaking news about the president's fixer and lawyer michael cohen, and that search warrant for his home and offices that led to the fbi raid on monday. "the new york times" breaking the story just over an hour ago that the access hollywood tape and possible efforts to suppress, quote, damaging information about mr. trump are under scrutiny by federal investigators. from that new york times report, the, quote, fbi agents who raided the office and hotel of president trump's lawyer on monday were seeking all records related to the access hollywood tape in which mr. trump was heard making vulgar comments about women. according to three people who have been briefed on the contents of a federal search warrant. the times adds, it's not clear what role, if any, mr. cohen played regarding the tape which was made public a month before the election, but the fact that the agents were seeking documents related to the tape reveals a new front in the investigation into mr. c

. >>> good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. i'm nicolle wallace in for brian. day 145 of the trump administration brings a bombshell that one trump confident concedes was a true cause for alarm for the president. donald trump's personal lawyer and fixer, the man who paid porn star stormy daniels $130,000 in hush money. "the new york times" broke the story late this afternoon. the washington soon followed. they both report that some of the materials seized in that raid is related to the payment to stormy daniels, but also that documents related to other topics as well as communications between cohen and his clients were taken. "the washington post" reports that cohen's computer, his phone, and personal financial records were confiscated in the search of his law office and that he's, quote, under federal investigation for possible bank fraud, wire fraud, and campaign finance violations according to a person with knowledge of the case. the president was not happy about any of it. sources close to the white house tell nbc news that

it was never meant to go to them. >> he kept this guy in new york and never brought him down to new york to get through a senate confirmation hearings. one of my favorite phone callers tells me he was a guy who wasn't there for any other reason except to deal with the problematic stuff that trump had to deal with, women, whatever. he didn't want to go to a big law firm and get publicity. this was the guy to keep the secrets. now all the secrets are in the bin of the special prosecutor or the new york prosecutors. >> right. here's what makes it even more dangerous. now, if it's confirmed that he was actually doing dealings with russia in prague, that connects can possible criminal behavior on the part of donald trump the businessperson with possible collusion behavior on the part of donald trump the president of the united states. that is the nexus that he never wanted to bring together. you know, cohen is basically his doug stamper from house of cards wi cards". he did all the dirty stuff. >> so now that this guy is exposed yes, will cohen be loyal? probably to a certain point. when you

new york post. strip search. for the latest on the breaking news, i want to bring in security asa rangopa, legal analyst marjory coast. i can't talk about how the president is. asa, you heard the president. he is angry. cnn is reporting the raids on michael cohen's office, reporting a raid on one of his homes as well. at least a dozen fbi agents involved. this is aggressive. >> it's aggressive, but i think we need to be clear about what was going on here. this would have been executed pursuant to a search warrant, which means that the fbi obtained permission from a judge to enter these facilities. they would have had to show probable cause that in these locations and in specified places, documents, devices, they were going to find evidence of a crime. and a judge would have had to agree to that in order for them to do it. this was -- i think calling it a break-in is really characterizing this as something that it's not. and the crimes here apparently are related to bank fraud, which is obtaining money through ill

attorneys in the southern district of new york. according to the "new york times," the fbi seized e-mails, tax documents, and business records from cohen's office. thetimes says the seized reports include communication with president trump. the move today by the fbi acting on a tip from the special counsel's office raise as lot of questions. why did mueller involve another law enforcement agency? what exactly was seized from cohen's office? how did the southern district obtain the search warrant? and is there another legal probe into someone in president trump's upper circle? joining me on the phone, mimi rocha action former federal prosecutor for the southern district of new york. she worked in that very office that conducted today's raid. mimi good to have you. first off, why a search warrant and not a subpoena? >> hi katy. a couple of reasons are possible. first of all you use a search warrant when you are concerned that someone isn't going to fully comply with a subpoena. that could mean a couple of things, that you are afraid

the new york office is notoriously a leak one. a few weeks ago after john dowd quit the team because he concluded the president wasn't listening to him, we quoted a legal expert named roger cossack who said that trump was looking for someone that had the silver bullet that was going to tell him what he wanted to hear. if you line that up with giuliani who says i know how to bring an end to it, it sort of looks like perhaps a silver bullet. >> thank you all for coming on this friday night. it's begun to look like one of the repertory companies where everybody changes parts during the run of the show. here's giuliani back as a guy that is going to help him and kimba wood who had the baby-sitter problem back in the clinton era. there's only 20 people running the country, the know men cla tour of this country and they shift rowes every once in awhile? >> it's the cast. >> it's a repertory company. it shouldn't be that way. it should be a democracy. thank you to michael shid, paul butler, shannon pettypiece and jennifer ruben. next, a

new york. i'm nicolle wallace in for brian. it's day 446 of the trump administration, and "the new york times" reports tonight that the president wanted special counsel robert mueller's investigation shut down in december. the times reporting tonight, quote, in early december, president trump, furious over news reports about a new round of subpoenas from the office of special counsel robert s. mueller, told advisers in no uncertain terms that mr. mueller's investigation had to be shut down. the president's anger was fueled by reports that the subpoenas were for obtaining information about his business dealings with deutsche bank according to interviews with eight white house officials, people close to the president, and others familiar with the episode. the december episode was the second time mr. trump is now known to have considered taking that step. the other instance was in june when the white house counsel, don mcgahn, threatened to quit unless mr. trump stopped trying to get him to fire m

so she is as new york as new york gets in many ways. she had an incredible family lineage. in especially in the new york circles. she was also descendent of the fish family also very prominent in new york circle. she did not, however, have the same kind of financial resources that george did. she endured great loss early on in her childhood losing her parents. and was essentially an orphan. and maybe not in a, you know, kind of charles dickens idea of what an orphan looked like but still just an incredible amount of loss and were to put george in perspective so george was youngest son of william henry the son of cornelius aka vanderbilt. it was the founder of the vangder built family fortune william henry -- was the son to whom he left the vast majority of his wealth william new hampshire rei in turn more than doubled that money in a very short amount of time. and george was william new hampshire rei's youngest son. so george didn't need to work. his older brothers went into the business and old orer brothers which was shipping and rail

we've been in new york since 1955, and new york, some people have said it's a snobbish city. i don't know why they say that, but -- and certainly with respect to washington -- >> we're from palm beach. we hear the same kind of a thing. >> you may have heard something of the kind. and you know, we can certainly feel that of washington, d.c., and so i was saying, no, no, washington is really not that way. it's come up in the world. lots of vietnamese restaurants, lots of afghan restaurants, lose a country, gain a restaurant. and i know reagan laughed at it. he and bill buckley were behind me, but there was a photographer, great photographer, who took a lot of photographs for us, and he snapped the shot, which i have, of reagan and bill cracking up as i made this little joke. and then years later, margaret thatcher was in washington for some -- maybe it was the heritage foundation. it was some great big meeting, and i had never met her, and i was just sitting in the audience, and then she says, things were so bad in the '70s that there was a cynical joke, lose a country, gain a

he and his brother joseph were on the steamship niagara that ran from troy, new york to new new york city on the hudson-new york steamship line. he made it his practice to provide the best service to anybody on the ship. the fiancee of benjamin taylor met henry on one of those trips from troy to new york. she was impressed with his service to everybody and when her fiance mentioned they needed a manager for the willard, she recommended henry. henry applied for the job and in 1847, henry willard moved to washington to manage the hotel. henry wanted a grand hotel to run on a grand plan. the city hotel at the time had 100 hotel rooms. it had a beautiful main entrance with a portico. it had a women's entrance that led to a private lounge on the mezzanine level. there was entertainment almost every night of the week. there was a private dining room for the ladies and the gentleman, as were bathrooms. henry willard decided the hotel would be the finest in the city. and it was reported that one of his routines was to leave the hotel at 3:00 every morning to go to the markets to personally s
